I can play barre chords and still do sometimes when the tune calls for them.
I played a 2 hour gig with the big band mostly swing and some newer tunes.
there was only 1 tune that I used a few barre chords on. You Made Me So Very Happy.
Barre chords are still good to learn but there are at least 12 different ways to play almost every chord.
Technique takes a long long time keep at it. It will come.
Try this; form the chord, remove your hand from the fingerboard, place your hand flat on some surface, then form the chord again. Do this at 30 beats per minute. First beat chord second beat flat. repeat until chord is clear then bump up the speed to 31.
After about 6 months stop looking at your hand.
